Cerid Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 You need to take it to the vet as soon as you can. Swelling the in the head or neck is not common in snakes. Ive never come across a snake with swelling in those areas. Its could be caused by numerous things and in my opinion on a vet will be able to diagnose it. Reptile vets costs a bomb most of the time, but if you have the money take the snake, if not I dont know what else you can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahjane Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 There is a vet in Rotherham, part of Springfields i think, who does not charge a fortune for reptiles. I used to take my snakes there and he was great. If you phone one of the Springfield vets in Rotherham they should be able to tell you which vet it is that deals with snakes.
